Re: Drei „Falken" der II./JG52 auf der Krim im Luftkampf um die Kertsch-Halbinsel 1943-1944

Exactly Nick,
grown up in the seventies my father working at night for a local newspaper as a driver brought home some "Landser" magazines for me. These were just word by word acounts written by WWII PK-Berichter during the war. Their style is "pathetic", but nevertheless full of action and referring to things that actually happened (good propaganda).

Nevertheless I sensed this was not the whole truth and I got curious and began to research...as the publisher from Helios told me printing of the "Landser" magazines stopped only three years ago.
It would be an interesting study how much this propaganda influenced generations of german people long after the Nazi regime had gone.
